Antimicrobial Activity of Bacteriophage Endolysin Produced in Nicotiana benthamiana Plants.
The increasing spread of antibiotic-resistant pathogens has raised the interest in alternative antimicrobial treatments. In our study, the functionally active gram-negative bacterium bacteriophage CP933 endolysin was produced in Nicotiana benthamiana plants by a combination of transient expression and vacuole targeting strategies, and its antimicrobial activity was investigated. Expression of t...
متن کاملA bacteriophage endolysin that eliminates intracellular streptococci
PlyC, a bacteriophage-encoded endolysin, lyses Streptococcus pyogenes (Spy) on contact. Here, we demonstrate that PlyC is a potent agent for controlling intracellular Spy that often underlies refractory infections. We show that the PlyC holoenzyme, mediated by its PlyCB subunit, crosses epithelial cell membranes and clears intracellular Spy in a dose-dependent manner. Quantitative studies using...
متن کاملMutant of Lambda Bacteriophage Producing a Thermolabile Endolysin.
Campbell, Allan (University of Rochester, Rochester, N.Y.) and Alice del Campillo-Campbell. Mutant of lambda bacteriophage producing a thermolabile endolysin. J. Bacteriol. 85:1202-1207. 1963.-Endolysin from lambda bacteriophage and a temperature-sensitive mutant thereof was partially purified. The mutant enzyme was distinguishable from the wild type by its greater rate of inactivation by high ...
متن کاملGenomic sequence of bacteriophage ATCC 8074-B1 and activity of its endolysin and engineered variants against Clostridium sporogenes.
Lytic bacteriophage ATCC 8074-B1 produces large plaques on its host Clostridium sporogenes. Sequencing of the 47,595-bp genome allowed the identification of 82 putative open reading frames, including those encoding proteins for head and tail morphogenesis and lysis. However, sequences commonly associated with lysogeny were absent. ORF 22 encodes an endolysin, CS74L, that shows homology to N-ace...
متن کاملEnhanced Antibacterial Activity of Acinetobacter baumannii Bacteriophage ØABP-01 Endolysin (LysABP-01) in Combination with Colistin
Endolysins are lytic enzymes produced by bacteriophages with their ability to degrade the cell wall of bacterial hosts. Endolysin (LysABP-01) from Acinetobacter baumannii bacteriophage ØABP-01 was cloned, overexpressed and characterized. Endolysin LysABP-01 has a globular structure consisting of lysozyme-like (N-acetyl-β-D-muramidase) catalytic domain. It contains 185 amino acids which correspo...
